This week on DDP Radio, WCW star Devon "Crowbar" Storm joins DDP to talk about how DDPYOGA healed his battered body and continues to change his life. Storm retired from the ring in 2001 but missed the action and decided to return to wrestling on a part-time basis. A big wake-up call came several years ago when he discovered (despite weight training and staying in relatively good shape) that his flexibility had diminished drastically.

"I attempted to do moves that I used to do for years effortlessly," Storm recalled. "While climbing to the top rope I couldn't get one of my legs on the top rope. I contemplated just retiring. I felt OLD!"

Instead of giving up, he took DDP's advice and tried his "It 'ain't your Momma's yoga brand of fitness, which Storm said ended up sending him back on the road of recovery and vitality. "DDPYOGA played a huge part in the cardio and flexibility area. I had not lost strength as I had been strength training, but when I got in the ring my ability and agility had declined. My muscles needed what we call in physical therapy Neuro muscular re-education."

Storm said the DDPYOGA positions "turned on" his muscle groups in a way that weight-training didn't. "I describe the process to my patients as "going down in the basement to the fuse box and flicking on switches that have been off in a while," said Storm, who is now a physical therapist. "In my regular treatments for patients (especially the lower extremities of hips, knees, and ankles) I utilize Warrior 1 and 2, and Standing Lunge to not only improve balance but to encourage the leg, hip and pelvic muscles of the lumbar region. For my younger patients who suffered a sports-related injury, have been rehabilitated, or otherwise have no other orthopedic concerns I strongly recommend that they pick up Dallas' videos as they are not only effective, but safe and very entertaining."

This past weeks YRG Radio was pretty exciting with news from Ray Lloyd (Glacier from WCW), and the man, Diamond Dallas Page. Ray has a great 90 Day Challenge program and DDP, well, he's got TONS of new stuff.

So, the show is still on and going strong. I am not even sure what our main topic is this week, but I am sure we will come up with something good. This has been one crazy summer, and boy, oh, boy, I am sure we are all feeling it.

Robert, Stacey, I and our other guests hosts are looking forward to getting into these topics and hearing from YOU! As always each show will have a focus, but we're open to taking the discussion where ever it leads us.

Talk to you Thursday! Be there, because there's no other place that you want me to find you if you're not! ;) YRG4L, LL@90%, Sparky

Alongside of Robert and me, are DDP and Stacey. That's RIGHT ... THEY'RE BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! We're really looking forward to having all of our Team YRG members listening in and calling in to support the show. Hopefully, that's YOU!

This week let's see how we can help each other make YRG a good fit *anytime* and *anywhere*. We all have personal experience with this, whether it's parenting, travel, or just a jam-packed daily schedule. Let's face it, sometimes fitting a YRG lifestyle into our lives feels like trying to shove 10 pounds of crap into a 5 pound sack, but, 'What Do You Really Want?!' Those who really want it make it work no matter how busy we get.

Besides fitting the YRG workouts into the schedule, have you ever really thought what food strategies you can leverage to make your nutrition plan fit all the time too? We'll get Stacey's and DDP's expert advice on how to make quick salads, quick and prepped meals, and what to have on hand to easily replace fast food.

Is it a challenge? YES, but there's always someplace else to go.

As always, the topic just gets things going. Our show is a forum to share questions, knowledge, and our journeys with each other. The show happens as we make it happen, so if You're Ready? Let's GO!

DDP and Stacey, also of SparkPeople Fame (STACEYMORRIS11) are out and about again this week, so you get another does of DDP Radio with Sparky. Of course we'll have our 'glue', Robert, and other guests from Team YRG calling in to support the show. Hopefully, that's YOU!

Whether you joined Team YRG and start DDP's Zero Impact Fitness yesterday or last week, do you know what's in *your* YRG Toolbox?! When I started, it took some time to get through the entire package of *awesome* that Team YRG and DDP's Zero Impact Fitness had to offer. You have probably asked yourself ...

What workouts should I do? How in the blue hell did DDP get to *that* move? How do I eat? *What* do I eat? What's with all these acronyms? LL@90%? YRG4L? ... and Team YRG? Oh, my!

Heck, I am still figuring things out and putting new tricks and tips in my YRG Toolbox; that's not a bad thing ... that's a *good* thing! DDP says it over and over, 'There's always someplace else to go.' Whether its moves themselves, modifications, stretching, eating, networking in Team YRG, whatever it is, even Living Life @ 90%, there's always someplace else to go. Once you learn that, it's just another tool added to your YRG Toolbox that's going to help you OWN YOUR LIFE!

What a rush!!! For anyone who missed tonight's show, I hosted in lieu of DDP. I have to tell you, it was the experience of a lifetime for me. I am not sure how the listeners felt, but I got calls from Marc Mero (www.championofchoices.org), and Ray Lloyd (WCW's Glacier). These are two of the most inspirational guys you could ever meet. In lending their stories and time to the show, they painted a great inspiration story about how to pick yourself up and depend on yourself. It's not about how many times you fail, but about how many time you pick yourself back up again!

This week we are talking about the impact of making decisions, meeting challenges, and taking opportunities on your own. Each step that you take on your own can be the hardest, but most will have consequences that will ripple through your life and end up in waves of success. And, most of the time, if you look back, you'll notice that someone was really walking right with you all the way. It's time to not be afraid of taking a step forward alone. Stop taking a pass on your life and OWN IT. What's stopping you from Living Life At 90% on your own?
